Greece to assume UN Security Council Presidency in October
Greece is set to assume the Presidency of the UN Security Council in October, facing a demanding diplomatic schedule. A central task will be mediating the selection process for the next UN Secretary-General, where the Presidency is expected to play a decisive role in seeking consensus among members.
Regarding regional tensions, diplomatic sources indicate that while communication channels with Turkey have never ceased, Greece remains firm in its positions and will not make concessions. The structured dialogue, including confidence-building measures and political dialogue, continues, though de-escalation depends on both parties.
On the Cyprus issue, there is reported significant activity, but experts remain cautious about immediate progress before the current Secretary-General's term ends. Additionally, Greece is managing energy security concerns, noting that current reserves are sufficient for the upcoming winter.
